have you ever been "lost" in someone or something? so involved that you lose yourself in the process? you repress/deny/& hide away who you are. maybe a high school sweetheart. maybe an activity? i had a girlfriend in high school (hi l.w.) that i "lost" myself in. the whole world revolved around her. i know i messed her up pretty good as well. i gave up friends & just about every healthy boundary you could think of.
lost (by the cure)
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
in the head of this stranger in love
holding on given up
to another under faded setting sun
and i wonder where i am...
could she run away with him?
so happy and so young
and i stare
as i sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love
out of time letting go
in another world that spins around for fun
and i wonder where i am...
could he ever ask her why?
so happy and so young...
and i stare... but...
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
in the heart of this stranger in love
holding on given up
to this other under faded setting sun
and i'm not sure where i am
would he really turn away?
so happy and so young...
and i stare...
as i play out the passion of a stranger in love
letting go of the time
in this other world that spins around for one
and i'm not sure where i am...
would she know it was a lie?
so happy and so young...
and i stare... but...
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
in the sould of this stranger in love
no control over one
to the other under faded setting sun
and i don't where i am...
should he beg her to forgive? '
so happy and so young...
and i stare...
as i live out the story of a stranger in love
waking up going on
in the other world that spins around undone
and i don't know where i am...
should she really say goodbye?
so happy and so young
and i stare... but...
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
ican't find myself
ican't find myself
i got lost in someone else.

Your poem makes me think of song lyrics--I enjoyed reading it.
the cure are great.
Was that the Cure? I was going to ask you if that was a song and if you wrote it.
kind of like billy joe?
eventually someone is going to talk about losing themself in someone or something. i just know it.
Losing oneself in someone or something: bad, bad, bad
Actually, to do that, one may not have a strong self-concept to begin with. No boundaries.
exactamundo.
have you ever lost yourself in someone or something?
Yes, and when I did it was because of woundness/neediness/immaturity on my part.
one of mine was a high school girlfriend. what was yours?
A series of business/friend relationships that weren't healthy.
